By working to understand how new AI systems integrate flexible and incremental learning, researchers gained insights about ...

Researchers found that humans and AI share a similar interplay between two learning systems: flexible, quick in-context learning and gradual incremental learning.

Put away your phone, picture this, and remember it. The entry to all new learning is like a doorway. Information crosses the threshold ushered by what captures our attention. Our capacities to see, ...

Working memory is what allows humans to juggle different pieces of information in short-term scenarios, like making a mental grocery list and then going shopping or remembering and then dialing a ...

Memory formation and retention involve multiple processes that help us encode, store, and retrieve information. The hippocampus, a seahorse-shaped structure near the base of your brain, plays a key ...

Some students recall everything they read, while others struggle. Strong working memory, motivation, and effective learning strategies like visualization, repetition, and summarization make a ...

To test this theory, Russin used "meta-learning"- a type of training that helps AI systems learn about the act of learning ...

Working memory is a form of memory that allows a person to temporarily hold a limited amount of information at the ready for immediate mental use. It is considered essential for learning, ...

The mysteries of how memory works are explained in a new book that suggests anyone can boost their powers of recall -- and that losing your keys is normal. The mysteries of how memory works are ...

Timothy Vickery, Ph.D., is an associate professor in the Department of Psychological & Brain Sciences at the University of Delaware. The cognitive neuroscientist is primarily interested in visual ...
